A lot of times you'll ask someone if they want a bag and get a weird, rambling answer, like you've caught them by surprise and they're trying to buy time while they think of something that will get you off their back.
Here is one such interaction with a portly middle aged gentleman wearing possibly the filthiest, most pestilent ball cap in my experience.
Me:
Do you need a bag?
customer:
*loudly clears throat* Hurrrrm.
(long pause, I start wondering if he heard me.)
I don't think that will really be necessary, actually.
for the record, my boilerplate responses to the question are "yes, please" or "no, thank you".
